Question
Chapter 47.3, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The arguments in favor and against genetic cloning.
Introduction:
Gene cloning is a type of recombinant DNA technology, in which a foreign DNA piece is inserted inside a vector. Further, a vector is then put inside a host cell to get copied. By cloning new genetically fine species can be produced.

Scientists are interested in cloning an extinct animal called the gastricbrooding frog. This strange frog swallows its eggs and broods itsyoung within its stomach. So far, scientists have successfully usedcloning to make an embryo of the frog, but they have yet to raise oneto maturity. What steps might the scientists have used to clone thisextinct species? Why was it important for scientists to determinebefore the experiments that the great barred frog is a close relative tothe gastric brooding frog?
